[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0030] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 This utility model discloses an entrance hall structure, which can be applied to the entrance hall wall 10 in nursing homes, senior apartments, and elderly people's homes. The entrance hall structure includes a cabinet 1 and a shoe-changing stool 2. The cabinet 1 includes a cabinet body 11, a top cabinet 12, a shoe cabinet 13, and a support rod 14. The top cabinet 12 and the shoe cabinet 13 are both located on the cabinet body 11. The shoe cabinet 13 and the top cabinet 12 are spaced apart. The top cabinet 12 is located above the shoe cabinet 13. One end of the support rod 14 is connected to the tabletop of the shoe cabinet 13 and the other end is connected to the bottom surface of the top cabinet 12. The bottom of the top cabinet 12, the side wall of the shoe cabinet 13, and the cabinet body 11 form a shoe-changing space 111. The shoe-changing stool 2 is placed in the shoe-changing space 111. With this design, the shoe cabinet 13 is equipped with a support bar 14, which can serve as a handrail for the elderly when they sit up or sit down. In other words, when an elderly person sits on the shoe-changing stool 2, they can use the support bar 14 to support themselves and sit down smoothly (e.g., Figure 4 As shown in sections a to b), elderly people can also stand up by supporting themselves on the handrail 14 (as shown in section a to b). Figure 4 (As shown in b to c) This improves the user experience for the elderly. Furthermore, the shoe-changing stool 2 is a flexible and movable seat that can be changed according to the needs of the elderly, improving its ease of use.

[0031] Furthermore, one end of the support rod 14 is connected to a position near the front of the shoe cabinet 13, close to the shoe-changing space 111, and the other end of the support rod 14 is also connected to a position near the front of the shoe cabinet 13, so that the support rod 14 is located to the side and front of the shoe-changing stool 2. With this design, since the support rod 14 is located to the side and front of the shoe-changing stool 2, when the elderly person sits on the shoe-changing stool 2, the support rod 14 is also located to the side and front of the elderly person, thus making it easier for the elderly person to lean forward for support when getting up.

[0032] Preferably, to facilitate the gripping of the handrail 14 by the elderly, the diameter D of the handrail 14 is 40mm. This design makes the handrail 14 resemble a handrail, making it easy to grip.

[0033] Preferably, the width W of the shoe-changing space 111 is 700mm. This design provides a relatively spacious shoe-changing space 111, which facilitates arm operation for the elderly when changing shoes, and also makes it easier for the elderly to turn their body to the side before supporting themselves on the handrail when standing up.

[0034] In some embodiments, the top cabinet 12 is provided with a first partition 121, which divides the top cabinet 12 into an upper storage space 122 and a lower storage space 123. The width of the first partition 121 is less than the width of the top cabinet 12, and the height of the upper storage space 122 is greater than the height of the lower storage space 123. This design makes it easier for elderly people to view the items in the upper storage space 122 of the top cabinet 12 from the bottom up, and to find and retrieve the items in the upper storage space 122 of the top cabinet 12.

[0035] Furthermore, the top cabinet 12 is equipped with a lever handle 124, which is located below the top cabinet 12. This design, compared to ball handles or concealed handles, makes the lever handle 124 easier for elderly people to grip and apply force. In addition, the handle's location below the top cabinet 12 lowers its height, further facilitating gripping and force application for the elderly.

[0036] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the top cabinet 12 is equipped with a light 125, which shines light towards the countertop of the shoe cabinet 13 and the shoe changing space 111. This design increases the brightness of the countertop of the shoe cabinet 13 and the shoe changing space 111, making it easier for the elderly to change shoes.

[0037] In some embodiments, the bottom of the shoe cabinet 13 has a first shoe storage space 131 that opens toward the ground, the first shoe storage space 131 being used to store shoes.

[0038] Furthermore, the height H1 of the first shoe storage space 131 is 250mm, and the height H2 of the shoe cabinet 13's tabletop is 850mm. With this design, the height of the first shoe storage space 131 is relatively high, making it easier for elderly people to see and put on or take off shoes located in the first shoe storage space 131 at the bottom of the shoe cabinet 13 while standing. The height of the shoe cabinet 13's tabletop is also convenient for elderly people to hold onto when getting up or passing through the entryway.

[0039] In some embodiments, the shoe-changing stool 2 is provided with a second partition 21, which divides the bottom of the shoe-changing stool 2 into a second shoe-placement space 22 located above and a third shoe-placement space 23 located below. This design can improve the space utilization of the shoe-changing stool 2.

[0040] Furthermore, the height H3 of the shoe-changing stool 2 is 450mm, the height H4 of the second shoe-placement space 22 is 200mm, and the height H5 of the third shoe-placement space 23 is 250mm. This design makes the shoe-changing stool 2 relatively high, facilitating sitting and getting up for the elderly. Additionally, the height of the third shoe-placement space 23 is higher than that of the second shoe-placement space 22, allowing the shoe-changing stool 2 to be moved even when shoes are already in the third shoe-placement space 23.

[0041] In addition, hooks 112 are provided on the side wall of the cabinet body 11 corresponding to the shoe changing space 111. With this design, the hooks 112 can be used to hang clothes or bags.

[0042] The present invention provides an entryway structure, including a cabinet 1 and a shoe-changing stool 2. The cabinet 1 includes a main cabinet 11, a top cabinet 12, a shoe cabinet 13, and a support rod 14. The top cabinet 12 and the shoe cabinet 13 are both located on the main cabinet 11, with the shoe cabinet 13 and the top cabinet 12 spaced apart. The top cabinet 12 is located above the shoe cabinet 13. One end of the support rod 14 is connected to the countertop of the shoe cabinet 13 and the other end is connected to the bottom surface of the top cabinet 12. A shoe-changing space 111 is formed between the bottom of the top cabinet 12, the side wall of the shoe cabinet 13, and the main cabinet 11. The shoe-changing stool 2 is placed in the shoe-changing space 111. With this design, the shoe cabinet 13 is equipped with a support bar 14, which can serve as a handrail for the elderly when they sit or stand up. This means that when an elderly person sits on the shoe-changing stool 2, they can use the support bar 14 for support to sit down smoothly, and when they stand up, they can also use the support bar 14 for support, thus improving their user experience. Furthermore, the shoe-changing stool 2 is a flexible and movable stool, which can be changed according to the needs of the elderly, further enhancing its convenience.

[0043] The above provides a detailed description of an entryway structure disclosed in the embodiments of this utility model. This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand an entryway structure and its core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
